Light House Studio is thrilled to announce that the 21st annual Adrenaline Film
Project will be held November 13-16, 2025, at the Vinegar Hill Theatre, our locally owned, historical, and state-of-the-art community film center.
Eleven talented, diverse teams (ages HS to adult) will spend 72 hours writing, filming, and editing
short films in this one-of-a-kind workshop.
For 21 years, the Adrenaline Film Project has been a staple in the Charlottesville community. Previous winners have found success in their acceptances to film schools, submissions to Sundance, involvement in the film industry, and with starting their own production companies. Adrenaline films have been accepted into many festivals, including the Austin Student Film Festival, Santa Barbara Indie Film Festival, and San Diego Short Film Festival. Past participants have said “AFP is really what made me fall in love with filmmaking” and “From the 5am call times and the midnight rewrites, we
fought through it all and ran on adrenaline.”
This year’s mentors include AFP founder and Directors Guild of America award nominee Jeff Wadlow, Emmy award winning producer Steve Robillard, Independent Spirit award nominee Han West, and Light House Studio’s Program Director Rachel Lane.
The final films will premiere at the Adrenaline Film Project Screening on Sunday, November 16th at 7:00pm at the Vinegar Hill Theatre. Tickets are available for the public through Eventbrite.
The screening concludes with an awards presentation which will include: the Judges Award, Mentor Selection Award, Audience Award, and Actors Award. All screening attendees, in person and virtually, can participate in the process by voting for their favorite film.
Our panel of judges is composed of film industry professionals: Joshua Blum, Founder of Washington Square Films, Mark Bruner, Writer and Executive Story Editor for the CBS TV show Sheriff County, and Catherine Heana Kim, professional actor and lead in the ABC series The Company You Keep.
Light House Studio looks forward to sharing the work of this year’s filmmakers with the local community.
